Golden Era Petrel 1979

Golden Era Petrel – A Timeless Herreshoff Classic with Modern Convenience Debuting in 1977, the Golden Era Petrel artfully combines the elegance of classic New England yacht design with the practicality of modern fiberglass construction. At 20.75 feet, this stylish pocket cruiser is an almost exact replica of the iconic Herreshoff Fish Class, a design celebrated for its sailing prowess, originally conceived by the legendary Nathanael Greene Herreshoff in 1916 at his renowned Bristol, Rhode Island shipyard. The Fish Class was envisioned as a more robust, spacious, and drier option compared to the beloved Herreshoff 12½. Its striking proportions, outstanding sailing performance, and enduring charm quickly secured its place among the classic yachts of New England. Golden Era Boats of Noank, Connecticut meticulously recreated the original hull lines, capturing the essence of the Fish Class with features like its elegant spoon bow, graceful sheer line, and unique heart-shaped transom. The outcome is a breathtaking daysailer that preserves the allure of its wooden predecessor while offering the low-maintenance benefits and durability of fiberglass. As a quintessential classic, the Golden Era Petrel allows sailors to embrace a piece of American yachting history while enjoying the reliability and convenience essential for today's boating enthusiasts.
